Following the well-known journalist Romano, the well-known transfer expert Skira also confirmed that premier league champions Manchester City signed Argentine striker Supernova Alvarez. Prior to this, a number of media broke the news, and Skira gave further confirmation. As the last team to pass out a scandal with Alvarez, Manchester City has finalized the transfer before the other 8 teams, and this steady and fierce way of buying people also makes people have to sigh that this Premier League upstart is becoming more and more heroic.
In the past four seasons, Manchester City have won the Premier League three times, and this season they have also ridden the Premier League table, the defending title looks unstoppable, Guardiola's no-front tactics have been unstoppable this season after last season's shine, in star-defiant contrast to Manchester United, which has a large number of stars next door but a dismal record. However, Manchester City are not satisfied, they are still working hard to strengthen the squad, and the signing of Alvarez is the best proof. The 21-year-old Argentine rising star is a true striker, and his ability to hammer the nail on the head is reminiscent of Manchester City's all-time top scorer Aguero. The deal will net €16 million for Argentine giants River Plate, a sum paid after taxes and payments to players' academy clubs.
However, the signing of Alvarez is still a good deal, and with his joining, Guardiola has the possibility of trying tactical play outside the front. Prior to this, Manchester City spent 33.5 million euros to sign Ferrantores once played well in the center position, but he finally chose this winter window to leave the team to join La Liga giants Barca, Manchester City earned 20 million euros in the deal, and this money became a transfer fee to sign Alvarez. The Blue Moon Legion's meticulous way of buying people is of great benefit to them to get rid of the brand of local tycoons and transform into real tycoons.
Of course, the reason why Alvarez can choose among many suitors to join Manchester City, which is not the highest price, is also a very important reason for the existence of the team manager Guardiola. For professional players, Guardiola is a golden sign for Manchester City, who will come to receive Guardiola's tuning and further growth under his command.
The just-departed Ferrantores is a good example, as a post-00 player, although he had a good performance in Valencia before joining Manchester City, he did not have national team experience. In the days when Guardiola played football, Ferrantore not only appeared on the wing, but also was pushed into the center position when Aguero and others could not play due to injury, which made his keen nose in front of the goal feel further revealed.
In his first season at Manchester City, Ferrantore played in 36 games and scored 13 goals and provided three assists, scoring a hat-trick in the Premier League against Newcastle away. He was also favored by Enrique to play in the European Championship last summer, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist in 6 games, and was one of the heroes of the Bullfighters Army's reach of the final four of the European Championship. In last year's World Preliminary Tournament, Ferrantores also had a good statistic of 4 goals in 6 games. This winter window was favored and attracted by Barca, and Guardiola was instrumental in his tuning.
Of course, the players who have been reborn under Guardiola are not only Ferrantores, but also the fans are impressed by the Spanish back Rodri, the British star Sterling, Phil Foden and Stones, and the Portuguese flying wing Cancello.
After a 1-1 draw with Southampton in the last round, Guardiola scored his 500th point in the Premier League, an achievement that the Spaniards have used in just 213 games, a record that is unmatched at the moment. The only thing he has been criticized for is that he did not lead Manchester City to the Champions League. And Guardiola may also be the only football coach who has to win the Champions League to qualify.
